5.9 THE WORK AREA
Ensure that the area is free of unauthorized people or vehicles, hoses, and always check the floor for
debris.
5.10 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
When operating the machine, always wear safety shoes, ear protectors, safety gloves (especially
when changing tools), and suitable clothing. All persons within the immediate working area must
wear safety glasses with side shields.
5.11 OPERATOR
The operator must be aware of the vacuum’s work environment, be properly trained prior to
operating the equipment, and fully understand this manual. Only one operator may work with the
machine at a single time. The operator must understand and interpret all the drawings and designs in
manual, understand all sanitation and safety regulations pertaining to its operation, have floor
grinding experience, know how to perform in an emergency situation, and have an adequate
technical knowledge.
• The dust collector should only be operated in environments with a temperature between 41°F and
113°F (5°C to 45°C) and a maximum relative humidity of 70%.
• The work environment for the vacuum should be clean, well-lit, and free of combustible elements.
• The dust collector should not be operated without the proper filters installed. This could possibly
result in damage to the machine, and cause harm to surrounding personnel.
• Do not open the waste container or motor head assembly while the vacuum is operating.
• Do not vacuum any flammable materials or substances such as fuels, solvents, etc. A dust collector
must be specifically designed and labeled for such operation. When grinding epoxy, first ensure that
the epoxy is non-toxic.
• Do not vacuum any corrosive substances unless the vacuum is specifically outfitted with containers
suitable for this purpose.
• Do not vacuum any burning, smoldering, or hot materials. This could result in a possible explosion
and/or damage to the vacuum components.
• If toxic or harmful substances accidentally enter the vacuum cleaner, the container and filters must
be removed and cleaned immediately using the proper protective equipment and safety procedures.
• Utilize the locking caster wheel to prevent movement while work is being performed.
• When moving the dust collector, never pull on the vacuum hose. For this purpose, always use the
designated handles mounted on the machine.
• For this specific dust collector, sound tests indicate that the emitted noise is level is measured at a
maximum of 75 decibels (dBA), for a distance of 1 meter from the machine (and height of 1.60
meters). The vibrations emitted from the machine have been measured at a maximum value of 2.5
m/s2. • CAUTION: The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recommends
that exposure to noise in the working environment be maintained below a level equivalent to 85 dBA
for a period of eight hours, in order to minimize occupational, noise induced hearing loss. Any
persons working in proximity of the vacuum cleaner should wear the proper hearing protection in
order to prevent hearing loss. Please refer to your local laws and regulations for further information
on the matter.
